UCLA is one dugout. The Bruins have been described as deliberate, methodical and boring. Mississippi State is in the opposite dugout. The Bulldogs have been described as unorthodox, bizarre and folksy.

Of course, no matter the description, they are the last two teams standing in the College World Series, which advertises itself as the "Greatest Show on Dirt." Omaha, Neb., has played host to the CWS since 1950, and many believe the event gets better every year.
